Cascade 220 Superwash is 100% superwash wool in a DK to light worsted weight. It's the everyday wool you can give to someone who's going to throw it straight in the washer. It comes in a deep range of solids, heathers and marls.
The specs
What makers use it for
Blankets and afghans come up more than anything else, and baby blankets most of all, because new parents can wash them. Next come baby and kids' sweaters, hats, mittens, donation hats and knitted toys. Makers keep mentioning the stitch definition. One called it perfect for aran sweaters because it "shows off cables wonderfully."
Before you cast on
220 or 220 Superwash?
Classic Cascade 220 is untreated Peruvian Highland wool in a worsted weight. It should be hand washed and dried flat, as it felts when machine washed. 220 Superwash is a little lighter and goes in the washer and dryer. Pick classic 220 when you want to felt, and Superwash for anything that gets washed a lot.
Want a different weight? Try 220 Superwash Sport, 220 Superwash Aran or 220 Superwash Merino, or see the whole Cascade 220 line.

I already had skeins to knit patches to add to squares knitted by kids and grands learning to knit. I made a patchwork baby blanket that needed a 6th color to do edging. I'm still working around the edges of the resulting quilt. It's wonderful, not complete, not even halfway around picking up stitches.
I was very pleased with the cascade 220 super wash yarns. The colors were beautiful and the feel was super soft. Even within my knitting group, the yarn was admired and I know I’ll be using it again in the future. My project was a hat which recommended the cascade 220. I can see this project in many different colors.
I'm using it to make stuffed toys for my grandchildren. It's sturdy and cleans up well. They've held up great!
I love the sturdiness and the wide range of colors. I’ve used it many times before. I'm using it for sweaters, scarves, and blankets.
This yarn is perfect for the project I am working on. I love it! I am using it for needlepoint. It is just slightly larger than what I was previously using.
Wears well, excellent stitch definition, and soft hand. Very good for knitted gift items likely to wind up in the washing machine.
I'm using it for a toddler sweater. It is lovely yarn to knit with. It is super enjoyable.
Works up better than acrylic and washes without creating balls
There are many colors to choose from to make a custom project. The yarn is soft and easy to work with.
I'm using it for a Christmas colorwork pullover. It is nicely soft.
